Sixteen different giant stars contributed lightning flashes for these above island ovals. Put mouse on each image to see its star.
Astronomers have not been looking for planets around giant stars in that the technique being used precludes giant stars. Astronomers look for a star being slightly displaced by the tugging of a giant planet orbiting back and forth around it. Secondly, The shadow of a giant planet crossing a small star can be seen in just the exact right circumstances. Proportionate size means a planet no matter how giant will have little to no effect gravitationally tugging back and forth on a giant star that is truely massive in comparison to the size of the planet. A horde of planets orbiting a giant star precludes visible tugging since all tugs from every orbital direction will tend to iron out to null any star displacement. And giant planet shadows, small across huge fiercly blazing giant star faces, are too faintly difficult to detect.
Next, island ovals in Vega halo.
First strip above are oval 'island' planets all pointing to the center of Sirius from different orbiting positions around the Sirius Halo. The second strip which looks much the same is actually one image of 'island' planets at Rigel, which is the darker image at left.
Two for the price of one is too moot to be co-incidental. The horde of planetary critters at Rigel all point to that star's center from different positions around Rigel's planetary halo. This was obsevered in late January/2002 and proposed in this GIC page.
The raptor of a similar planetary horde of oval critters of more or less identical kind, all pointing to the center of Sirius from around the Sirius halo, was observed in the morning of Feb 15/2002.
Naturally 1+1=3 in the amount of juices the brain produced upon an observation like this - that Rigel was not alone, that the island ovals ergo planetaries, could not be an accident in a screwed up astronomy image.
The rest of the day was spent preparing this page your are reading now. Procyon was the first giant star other than Rigel seen to have planets, this was seen in the morning of Feb 15/2002. A hasty search of Dss archives turned up planets at Betelgeuse, and then Sirius. The whole Sirius picture became particularly interesting yet at the same time difficult so more material is dedicated to the inspection of Sirius.
Four, for the price of one. By now, without question we are looking at something inhabiting the halos of giant and super giant stars, the kind classed as the brightest in the night sky at certain times of the year. What these 'somethings' are is debatable, my ten cent bet is planets being blown into elliptical shapes by stupendously powerful solar winds.
Warning, do not be hoodwinked by seeming similarities between images if you race through this page checking it in a hurry. There are ten different giant stars profiled, each with planet hords in their outer halos beyond their coronas. The image similarities are due to the fact that the planet systems are similar, yet, completely distinct for each giant planet.
The idea of planets in visible hordes around giant stars is not that far fetched. There are now ten large stars which show hordes of dark small circles and irregular small ovals around them. (Merope and the Pleiades is the 11th, which shows intriguing mottling patterns).
Strip three above is do diddly dowap of the next day, first thing is the morning, in fact. The left hand image of strip three above, is those same submarines in Altair, Arcturus, and the right hand image is Epsilon Eridani.
Strip four is do diddly dowap of day three, first thing is the morning, in fact. The left hand image of strip four above, is those same kind of submarines in Vega, Betelgeuse, and the right hand image is Aldebaran followed by Regulus, with Procyon the last image in the strips.
This is a total of 10 stars with planet signatures in the bright halos. An 11th star (the collective group known as the Pleiades) creates 11 stars with impressive solar system signals.

Procyon also has a very well evolved rill system, which extends in clear even spray around the bright circle telescope interference area.
Click on image for full size
The spray of rills (thin line fingers streaming out) is a standard solar phenomena, even our Sun shows them in abundance. Rills such as these at Procyon are not seen in every Dss image of large and giant nearby stars, so, the assumption is to proceed with an understanding that rills are being seen in contest with extra bright rings from telescope lens refractions.
4. BETELGEUSE
Dark circles abound around Betelgeuse, by the dozens.
Click on image for full size
In 3d overlay, the group is less distinguished, with uneven edges.
5. SIRIUS
Nicely done. Giant star Sirius has planetary ovals almost exactly in match to shape and texture as those of Rigel, the Sirius planets fewer in number. However, a larger cross section is seen in the Sirius photo, and, many of the Rigel planets are at some distance from Siruius star proper, it is therefore suggested that other planets may be found further in the outfield beyond the edges of this image, around Sirius.
Just follow the longshore of the islands, they will lead you straight to the center of Sirius which is to the upper right.
Many of the Sirius dark ovals also have small bright islands in their centers, as do 'island's in orbit around Rigel.
The similarity most likely (almost certainly) is due to similar dynamic tensions in the solar blow storms and explosions rendering both giant stars and ripping their surrounding space, effecting both their planetary solar systems in similar extremely stressed ways.
Click for Sirius bellring images
That super hot pink smack near the center of Sirius is a lapse in my editing management skills, it intended to show a small dot near the center of Sirius which might be being seen in similar manner to small moons across the face of Jupiter, or Venus transiting the Sun. I hit the enhancers and 'save' almost in the same motion. Too late. I could not figure how to recover the image with all of the work already done to it so hot pink you get. Sorry. The location of the hot pink planet can be seen in the full large size image. The white dot next to it may be a comet, profiled here.
COMETS AND COMET HEADS CROSSING GIANT STARS
I have to report that I have been closely watching for comets and comet heads in each of the eleven giant stars studied above, and at first was extremely pessimistic, reporting having seen none. All of a sudden I spotted one (crossing Sirius) which was a meybe. After that, once seen never forgotten, at least two more possible comets have appeared in Dss star images. It was occuring to me if a comet is big enough, and close enough to the star, its presence should be visible, but, as already said, first report was pessimistic until rethinking tiny extra bright white dots not as image flaws, but as comets.
At this moment there are three comet candidates, possibly four. None is assured, but, being tiny white on the face of giant stars, are an anomaly that needs explanation no matter their source, comet or otherwise.
The first seen is a tiny blip crossing the face of Sirius. The other two are crossing Artcurus, and Aldebaran, all are profiled here.
I have not seen any sunpots, not one, not even one. Sunspots are something I had expected to see on the faces of fierce giant stars but no sunspots have I seen, not even one.
It seems to me (in not stretching bubble gum past the edge of the lips) that if comets are being seen at distant stars, then other things, such as planets, should also be seen at those stars. Is there not some astronomical A = B symbollic logic priory in astronomy that where there be comets, such as an Oort cloud, there be planets.
Slight differences between the two above small dot views are enough to make each dot a little more understandable.
A COMET?
The tiny white dot seems irregular and almost impossible to zoom or enhance, but seems to have a tail, but I will be darned if I can get a grasp on how this tail could be pointed in that direction, unless, the comet head is pointing to the region of extreme bellring disturbance in the lower right quarter of the star itself.
In fact, just to be sure, I have identified another four tiny white objects on the face of Sirius, for a total of five possible comets crossing Sirius, the fifth perhaps a comet with a long tail, in the upper right of the disk face in an extra bright area of the disk making it hard to isolate distinctly with image editing graphic adjustors.
COMET CROSSING THE FACE OF ARCTURUS?
TWO COMETS CROSSING THE FACE OF ALDEBARAN?
The Aldebaran comet candidate seems to be two comets near each other, one very bright and white, the other very tiny. Both are near the middle of the star diskface, slightly to the left and below the midaxial horizon. The green toned enhancement below shows the comet positions with respect to the star's South/west quadrant.
PLANET SPINS
Each of this next is focused long axis to the center of Sirius the short axis aligned to the orbital axis, ergo 'island ovals'.
A narrowed laboratory frame of reference makes it impossible to tell the radius vector of the orbital axis, but, I happen to know (as would anyone who cut the zooms). The left image planet is pointing to the lower right, the center planets are pointing to the upper right, and the right image planets are pointing to the lower left.
In fact these planets look so much the same as planets at Rigel that it would be impossible to tell who's star are who's. Planets are at Rigel seen in the darker next image left, and point to a Rigel below toward the left.
WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
Two for the price of one. Two stars with identical objects hording their auric vacinities. This is too much for mere con-incidence, wayyyy to much.
Click for larger Rigel image, where you can see that all the planets point straight to the center of Rigel, just as all the planets point straight to the center of Sirius.
PLANET ORBITS STRUCTURE
Rigel reveals conciderable regards its planet family orbits, whereas what we have to investigate in the Sirus image is too paucitous to make quick calls on actual orbit structures at Sirius. At Rigel the orbit is tilted, planets in one part being closer to the camera, in the other part farther away. This is like approaching our solar system from a point above it and out toward the edge.

The inner area has collapsed, at least in brillience, like the dark center area of a super large sunspot.
MORE SIRIUS DETAILS
There are definately more planets at Sirius. Shifting the plane view up slightly, and down slightly, reveals more strong appearing ovals. It has to be assumed that more ovals surround Sirius to conciderable distance outward. No comment is being made on large irregular gobs in the lower left, these do not fit the neat and replete appearance of planets.
SAGA
The sage of planet discovery continues to unfold. The next day (Feb 16/2002) two more large bright stars are discovered to be rife with planet signals rifing their halos.
The two new additons to the list are Vega and Arcturus.
Both of these stars have excellent shows of what we want to see, in the Dss 2nd generation (blue) images.
These two star names were found by searching SEDS periodic typewritten newsletters and looking for anything related to brightest stars, best observing opportunity, etc.
On day three, four more stars were found with shapes, dark spheres, and/or island ovals in their halos. These four more are: Altair, Regulus, Aldebaran, and Epsilon Eridani.
These four more, were found by searching APOD for "star maps" and jotting down names that looked interesting. An APOD search for "planets" yielded a few names which produced no planets in Dss images since most of these stars were very small in Dss scan cross sectional diameters, but, were associated with names of stars discovered by rigorous hard astronomy procedures to have large Jupiter and Saturn class planets around them.
6. VEGA
Vega is unique in having numerous very large circulars within its halo.
VEGA-005.JIF
VEGA DSS 2ND GENERATION (RED)
VEGA-011.JIF
VEGA DSS 2ND GENERATION (BLUE)
VEGA-006.JIF
Another Vega image particular whammed with orange color tones, brings to light more of the very dim objects actually abounding around the star.
Image Vega-008.jif is another Dss 2nd generation (red), it shows conciderable activity in the halo, more actively visible than the Dss 1st generation image linked above as Vega-005.jif.
VEGA LARGE OVALS
Click for original Dss 2nd generation (blue) black and white scan, showing numerous large ovals.
Vega has several large ovals, three are shown above close together. A quick count can put the number of large ovals as nearly a dozen. Nothing like these are seen in any other star Dss images used for this page. I am by logical contraint unable to say if the large ovals are from deep space in the rearground, or in the Vega halo. We know the island ovals are in the Vega halo since the islands point to the center of Vega and so cannot be unrelated deep space phenomena.
A thought had occurred to me that the large ovals may be planets with particularly large disks akin to rings of Saturn. However, a long pull on the obove three-oval image, contemplating, concludes that if these are planet ring systems, their appearance is not what would normally be expected having Saturn as the only known example so far of a large disk system ringing a planet. Other solar planets have rings but none so self evident as the rings of Saturn.
The Vega image has numerous distant deep space galaxies of different kinds glimmering through the haze and in the Vega scan frame outskirts, so large ovals showing through from outer deep space may be possible.
If the large ovals are in giant Vega's halo, what are the possibility they are proto or rudimentary small stars, for instance of the dwarf or brown class, or at least planets sitting on the borderline between being super giant planets and very small not yet ready to burn stars.
This is quessing because I have no idea personally as to scale of size of the large ovals in the Vega image, and no direct knowledge as to what constitutes the borderline between super planet and dwarf star. All I know, without question, is that numerous large ovals of different kinds are in the Vega image, and such are not seen in other giant star Dss photos among those photos examined for use in GIC.
The large ovals are less distinct than island ovals, therefore are harder to render in grand spanking bright enhancements.
7. ARCTURUS
Arcturus is unique in having both circulars and ovals, all seeming to be in sweeping drifts aligned along a North/west to South/east vector rather than all pointing toward the center of the star.
Arcturus is unique in having both circles and ovals, main concentrations seeming sweeping in an off central alignment along a North/west to South/east vector rather than all pointing toward the center of the star. Some of the ovals point to the star center, many do not.
To see the off-axis bias in drift, following the yellow spike in the image at left to the right, that spike leads straight to the center of the star.

ARCT-003.JIF
The 2nd generation (red) image of Arcturus shows just ovals, and not that many, all pointing to the center of the star.
I looked at the Dss 2nd generation (blue) image for Arcturus but the show 'n tell was just too poor to bother with, only a few island ovals each too dim to get enthused over.
SOLAR DISK OF MAJOR SIZE
RINGWORLD
ARCT-001.JIF is a Dss 1st generation image enhanced in my favorite star bright orange. Island ovals, and spherical gobs of all kinds, are plainly seen, as is plainly seen everything seeming to be in a rush along a diagonal slant stringing outside to the left beyond the center of the star.
Perhaps the main concentration of the slant is an Arctarus solar system's ecliptic axis, or primary ecliptic axis, because it is possible objects are circling in all directions in elliptical orbits around Arcturus like bees around Donald Duck's head in the old Walt Disney comic books from the 1950's.
A more reasonable citation is the possibility that we are looking at a major ring system around Arcturus not unlike the disk around Saturn.
And now, introducing the little squirrel in the little cage in the little brain who likes to run a little too slowly. Two days later the strange offshift of the Arcturus family in the halo had an answer, and almost immediately after, an illustration. This raze in the haze of Arcturus may be an orbital disk seen on edge, therefore slightly off center just as if seeing the rings of Saturn anytime through a telescope.
Next is an astronomy artist's artwork of Saturn-like planets found at stars such as 79 Ceti and HD 46375.
Next, I altered the image, altered the shape of the inner star sphere via 'circle' in the graphic editor, hoping to then use more color adjustments to better reveal island ovals and dark spheres in the outer corners of the picture, to see if for instance the looping end of a ring was visible, a ploy only marginally successful.
I also tried whamming the upper left portion of the image even more, literally creaming it with image enhancing juice, and am able to see that major array of objects continues out into the upper right corner of the frame, in positions consistent with being at end of a ring system's tight endzone curvature.
To give indication as to how much creaming was needed to wham this image, here is the Dss original, in which nothing can be seen in the upper left.
It cannot be said, it cannot be said not, that objects stream to the upper left then back down more behind the star, exactly as if part of a ring disk is visualized. The 10 cent bet hedges toward 60/40 that two edges of a broad disk are visible.
The fact that the island ovals are all on the same slant, North/east to South/west, instead of pointing to the center of the star, is a blazen conquest by those who would argue these island ovals cannot be planets. On the other hand, there might be reasonable explanation and cause for the island ovals to be oriented in the rotational plane of a ring disk, rather than tail first to the star center.
Click here for one proposal regards uniformly out of synch island ovals.
Two more images have been experimentally tried, to see if anything better revealing a ring system made of oval planets is possible. The answer is there is enough evidence to suggest a ring disk system of planets around Arcturus, but not enough evidence to prove it. What is obvious is that planets are hardly seen in the lower right of the picture, which perhaps means a ring, or any orbits, falls here behind haze of the Arcturus halo.

ARCT-006.JIF
8. ALTAIR
Small round dark circles in the midst of a very gobby looking place in space. (See next hotlink below).
The 2nd generation (red) Altair image hardly shows a thing of interest.
DSS 1ST GENERATION
A few small dark dots, bright slashes of seeming ejecta radiating to the East and South vectored to the star center, and a wiggly wogule (amorphous) bright clump to the west.
ALTAR-01.JIF
DSS 2ND GENERATION (RED)
You have to look carefully to see a few very tiny oval islands, and small dark spheres. In the main, practically nothing can be seen.
ALTAR-02.JIF
DSS 2ND GENERATION (BLUE)
Small handful of noticables as small island ovals, small dark spheres, and mysterious dark slashes to the left of the star.
ALTAR-03.JIF
There are slashes of two kinds near Altair - bright, and dark.
In the Dss 1st generation image, bright slashes lay on either side, and gobs covey below.
In the Dss 2nd generation (blue) image, dark slashes lay at left, nothing is at right, and a gob covies below the disk.
Slashes vectored to the star center, dark on the left, bright on the right.
9. REGULUS
Regulus has very strong coronal lines extending well beyond the telescope's light ring.
DSS 1ST GENERATION
No oval islands, just a few small dark spheres.
REGUL-01.JIF
DSS 2ND GENERATION (BLUE)
A few small oval island, numerous small spheres, prominent parallel slashes, and a globular cluster nearby in the picture frame.
REGUL-03.JIF

Three bold slashes in a parallel array are standout anomalies (seen only in the 2nd generation (blue) scan).
A light sphere of eerie beauty, the telescope's special effects make a pleasing false image.
10 ALDEBARAN
Aldebaran has two good comet candidates crossing its face.
DSS 1ST GENERATION
Hodge podge of splashes and dots with no orientation pattern.
ALDEB-01.JIF
DSS 2ND GENERATION (RED)
No myriad of gobs in scattered splashes.
ALDEB-02.JIF
DSS 2ND GENERATION (BLUE)
No planetaries to speak of, however, some small galaxies can be seen through the haze.
ALDEB-03.JIF
Either a strew of ejecta or planetary mass unravelled, it cannot be said, either way it streams out - seen in the 1st generation - from Aldebaran heading North/west on a long axis aimed to the star center. If ejecta it means some of the planetaries seen around giant stars are mere ejecta rather than planets formed in orbits. This (at left) is an anomalous object, seen in the 1st generation scan. Similar seeming objects when seen elsewhere at other stars are more wormlike, coiled.
Other than the pithy remarks in the above paragraph, I cannot account for dark strings like this in a large star's halo. The strings look like E Coli bacteria seen in an electron microscope.

PERFECT POLAR FLARE POLARITIES
Astronomers should pay attention to the above revealing Dss images. A thin flare in bright radiance is seen in the photographed frequencies of the 1st gen image. A long upper flare in exact polar opposite position is seen dark in the photographed frequencies of the 2nd gen (blue) image. Neither opposite flare is even indicated in the frequencies of each other's photograph, and neither flare is indicated even in trace in the photograph frequencies of the 2nd gen (red) image.
This tells us at once that significant information can be simply missed by missed frequencies, it is like a dry drilled gold hole missing the gold mother load by three feet (it has happened in mining). The fact that perfectly polarity opposite flares issue straight from a north and south pole of Alpha Pegasus is significant.
For instance, is it possible a neutron star pulsar has been absorbed into the body of giant star Alpha Pegasus and has settled to the center where the pulsar's time clock superfast spin is masked by matter and the puslar's jets are bursting forth in the form of twin polarity flares. This is only a suggestion. At the very least, that stars do actually flare in a perfect polar axis North to South, is itself revealing.
The upper North pole (bright) flare is spreading out. The lower South pole flare stays long and thin. This is entirely consistent with Neutron star jets for instance seen in the Crab Nebula, that a jet from one pole is thin, the other jet from the opposite pole is long and spreads out.

A peculiar lineup of island ovals at Alpha Andromeda, reveals a family of planets (herein called Ringworld) in tight orbit around Alpha Andromeda. There are seven planets identified in the orbiting family. The ovals are seen in the Dss 2nd gen (blue) plate.
Click for image with inserted line showing how ovals at the left side of the star, and right side, line up in a manner totally consistent with a ring disk system of planets around the star, or at least, planets in a specific ecliptic axis orbiting very near the giant star.
There are numerous large and elongated ovals extending far out into reaches of space from the star halo. Because some of the ovals are in lineal orders, formed in a line, it suggests the possibility of multiple rings, each seemingly sparcely populated. I am absolutely unclear on the concept, but have used this opportunity to introduce the possibility of 'ringworlds' made of disks holding planets around giant stars.

RINGWORLDS
Numerous island ovals facing the star center, a more varied range of island oval shapes, including distorted, and some aligned at a polar plane off axis from the star center perhaps being conveyed in a disk ring system disk which is also around the star along with the horde of planetoids in willy nilly orbits without a central ecliptic axis such as found for our own solar system.
Note: a ringworld disk system around Arcturus is easily understood because the district areound Arcturus is densely populated, and oval island planetoids are aligned in right angles along the circumpherential axis of the disk, rather than pointing in in straight-line vectors to the center of Arcturus.

MOTIVE
I am one of those eccentrics on the planet who cannot let sleeping dogs lie. Forensic psychiatrists call this obsessive compulsive disorder of an extreme red end alarm. I call it curiosity. I went back on the Internet and searched APOD for "star maps" and came up with several more nearby star names who'se nature I had not yet investigated.
Sure enough, four more stars (now integrated into the above proceedings) produced islands and dark gobs of telltale planetary nature in their signals to me. I am a happy puppy, I didn't even have to kick the sleeping dog, and will be well out in front in international internet communications regards planets hording around giant stars long before well paid international forensic psychiatrists will ever be able to catch up with me or kick a sleeping dog wearing my name tag.
Of four names combed from the coodies at APOD, three yielded results, the fourth, IP Pegasus, yielded nothing. The other three, Altair, Regulus, and Aldebaran, yeilded planets. Three out of four yielded plus signs, that is a sizeable percentage of error, eroding error concepts, would you agree.
Correct me if I am wrong, but was not Altair featured as the planet of focus in 'Forbidden Planet' - Walt Disney cir. 1954, - it was, Altair 1V - and Aldebaran featured in Star Wars as the home planet of the princess. Correct me if I am wrong. The reason for the remark is that Star Wars was supposed to have taken place in a galaxy far far away at a time long long ago, so how come Alderbaran, right next door to our Sun. - Correction, it was Alderaan.
PAPER STAR
SUMMARY
Betelgeuse and Procyon have circular planetaries, and irregular gobs, Betelgeuse has too many planetary signals crowding its halos to be easily counted.
Orange enhanced: Betelgeuse Procyon
Rigel and Sirius have oval island planetaries with bright centers, and irregular gobs. The island ovals of both stars point to the center of their stars. The Rigel planetaries, being small, tend to be harder to see, since Rigel is much farther away therefore smaller in the Dss telescope scan.
Orange enhanced: Rigel Sirius
Sirius once again, showing the profound bellring oscillations. I have looked and looked at this apparition each time it comes up, and have started to wonder if Sirius had just been impacted by another star.
Dss was inconsistent in dishing Sirius images, sometimes nothing but a homogenous star background appeared with no main object with co-oridinates bearing no relationship to co-ordinates also dished which did show the main star. The Dss co-ordinates containing the main star (which I have called Sirius) are:
RA 06 45 08.92
DEC -16 42 58.0
MOTTLING IN THE PLEIADES
Mottling in the Pleiades. Click for large telltale image. Be warned this is a large 2nd Generation (blue) Dss photo and will take time to load.
Mottling in the Pleiades. These may be planetaries by the teeming thousands, or plate flaw effect, perhaps dew on the telescope. The dots tend to concentrate in the diaphanous drifts, which favors planetaries. But, also, mottles concentrate densly within some of the prominent telescope light circles in the image. This is bad news if the mottles are hence false artifacts.
On the other hand it may be possible the light rings themselves are amplifying details behind and within the rings, in which case the news is good that the mottles are planets roaming without orbits as plankton planets being gathered in currents of seething energetic ionnizing cross polarizing seas.
GUARANTEE PROVISO
I cannot guarantee that every image shown labelled as a Dss 2nd generation (red) or (blue) is correctly labelled. By the time we get to this summary 28 original Dss scans have been downloaded and reviewed locally by enhancing techniques yielding over 80 views mostly large some small, the procedures at first add hoc meaning that it was not rigorously clear as to which Dss scan version was being reviewed. Attempt has been made to clarify scan views but no quarantee is claimed and I am not going to go backward to excessing more work to guarantee each scan name, besides, it seems to make little difference to me other than being helpful, to correctly identify each Dss scan, in that the orange and green toned enhancements are self evident in their contents regards showing planetary objects around large and giant stars, and, anyone wishing, can download and review Dss scans themselves perhaps to work the images in an entirely different way than I have.
The above summary does not include a number of Dss scans which produced no hits or were uninteresting at best.
There seems to be more than one way to download Dss images. One site I occasionally link into, then quickly back out of, requires exact specs inputed in detail all perfectly correct including choice of image sources. I use the easy working person's Dss site, straight in, enter the name of a target, use Simbad, choose 1st or 2nd generation options, change nothing but the arcminute size to 60x60, choose .gif for download format, and save the image with .htm extension. These are readily handled in Paint Shop Pro graphic Editor ver 2.14, a version I continue to use since it is uncluttered and straight forward. When saving, I use something simple like Sirius-01.htm. I type in .htm as the image-name extension to get around the ersatz of coping with ~tilds.
The above summary does not include Dss scans and reviews for Merope (and the Pleiades), and Rigel, both of which combine as a vapor trail of about 100 image versions done earlier this month.

ISLAND OVALS AND MAGNETIC FIELD?
Regards island ovals aligned at right angles to the center of the star, for instance around Arcturus in particular, it has occurred to me how anomalous this seems in presence of fierce solar winds presumably blowing gas balls backward forming island ovals, somewhat akin to winds forming tails of comets that stream away from a star's center.
It has occurred to me perhaps super strength magnetic fields of a star may be powerful enough to whip the gas balls around in orbit, if the star's super strength magnetic field is rotating with the star, and can reach out into orbits with enough force to overcome the blowback forces of the solar winds. Magnetic field interactions between planetoids and star may be strong enough to re-align planetoid spin axis into right angle faceoff to the star, the long axis of the oval due to high spin rate of the planetoid itself. Just a thought - please do not punish me if wrong.

INTERFACED PAGES
Images of stars are partially interfaced between Planets.htm (this page 1), and Oscillat.htm (support page 2). A third page Planets1.htm is page 3) is also involved. Following is a direct link index to items in the Oscillat.htm page.
